vector
vector System Class
Class Precedence List:
vector, array, sequence, t
Description:
Any one-dimensional array is a vector .
The type vector is a subtype of type array; for all types x, (vector x) is the same as (array x (*)). The type (vector t), the type string, and the type bit-vector are disjoint subtypes of type vector.
Compound Type Specifier Kind:
Specializing.
Compound Type Specifier Syntax:
(vector [{element-type | *} [{size | *}]])
Compound Type Specifier Arguments:
size—a non-negative fixnum.
element-type—a type specifier .
Compound Type Specifier Description:
This denotes the set of specialized vectors whose element type and dimension match the specified values. Specifically:
If element-type is the symbol *, vectors are not excluded on the basis of their element type. Otherwise, only those vectors are included whose actual array element type is the result of upgrading element-type; see Section 15.1.2.1 (Array Upgrading).
If a size is specified, the set includes only those vectors whose only dimension is size. If the symbol * is specified instead of a size, the set is not restricted on the basis of dimension.

Notes:
The type (vector e s) is equivalent to the type (array e (s)).
The type (vector bit) has the name bit-vector.
The union of all types (vector C), where C is any subtype of character, has the name string.
(vector *) refers to all vectors regardless of element type, (vector type-specifier) refers only to those vectors that can result from giving type-specifier as the :element-type argument to make-array.
